March Madness

Somehow March always kicks off a busy season.... the chunk of winter makes us more lethargic and we get restless by March waiting for Spring to come. With all that comes all the things I have going on being full steam ahead.

March brings the first of many fundraisers for our Mexico Missions Team. So if you have anything you would like to donate or have a small business and would like to buy a space (only $20) let me know. Some people buy a space to have their own little sale, which is more than fine. All proceeds benefit the team going to Mexico in June.

March also brings lots of travel as I will be in Dallas for 4 days for work right after my favorite holiday... St. Patrick's Day.. (well one of my favorite holidays). I also have travel plans to venture to Sacramento at the end of the month, so still trying to swing those plans. Both of my favorite little kiddos (Parker and Makena) have their birthdays this month and I wish I could see them celebrate. Thank goodness for Skype and pictures... or I would go crazy.

Unfortunately, March has already brought round 3 of being sick... we are in day 6 of being sick and it is staying pretty consistent.... it is moving into the chest area a bit, but the sore throat is clearing up kinda, sorta, and my face feels less.... icky ;-) Somehow, I have not had a fever to this point-- even though my face feels freaking hot all the time-- especially my eyes....

March means I also say goodbye to good friends who will be moving back to San Diego (Graden and Elle). God is good and that is where their heart is and so I know this is where God will be with them in this transition.

March starts the season of great movies for Spring and Summer and I am excited for a few.... most importantly Iron Man 3. Yes, I am that girl who thinks those movies are freaking awesome!!!

March also is an important month as we celebrate the crucifixion and the rising of our Savior. We get so caught up in the commercialism of the "Easter Bunny, egg hunts, baskets, having to buy the dress.... why do we make it this fashion show kind of thing. I don't understand the reason to have to have an "easter dress".... we should come to Jesus as we are.... (okay that is my rant about it... done). This does give an amazing opportunity (as does Christmas) to invite people to church, as they are more inclined to go these two times of year.

As you can tell... things are about to get "cray-cray" with busy and it probably won't let up until Fall (that's how it goes right?). Continued prayers for friends and praises for my amazing friends Drew and Carlene who have had their new baby girl, Aubrey. Prayers for adjustment at home with a newborn again as they also have a 3 year old at home as well. Praises for my dear friend who got into nursing school at UCLA, prayers as she prepares for this chapter in her life (and also having a 3 year old). Prayers I get better and stay better. I really just don't have time to be sick. Prayers for my friend awaiting his test results from his CPA exam. Prayers for God's favor in this and that God will provide as he now begins the job hunt and going where God leads.

I am thankful for some of the amazing weather we have had lately... hope it comes back and stays :)
